Question

Ellen can spend at most $8.25 on snacks for a party. Carrots cost $2 per pack and grapes cost 0.75 per bag. Write a linear inequality

Answer 1

Let x represent the number of packages of carrots and let

y represent the number of bags of grapes.

Use ≤ for “at most”.

Total cost of carrots plus total cost of grapes is at most $8.25 .

2x + 0.75y ≤ 8.25

Solve the inequality for y.

2x + 0.75y ≤ 8.25

0.75y ≤ -2x + 8.25

y ≤ -8/3x + 11

Hope this helps. c;

Answer 2

2c + .75g less than or equal to 8.25

c being how many packs of carrot

g being how many bags of grapes
